of course; but that's not tor's threat model anyhow. Nevermind the scenario of being mostly taken over; it also obviously falls to traffic analysis by a global passive observer.
In other words, its not gonna protect you from the NSA, ever, nor was it meant to. It might have a fightning chance against the FBI though. Actually it was surprising how in Snowden's files, the NSA was having trouble reliably deanonymizing targeted tor users.
